David posted a figure from an airline pilot of 6000 lbs/h per engine
during cruise. I've now tried the 747-yasim in a cruise at M.82 at
FL370 and got around 2630 gal/h per engine, which is about 17700
lbs/h!
Based on that calculation, the correct TSFC seems to be 0.274 -- not
sure whether that's right though...
